UAE's flydubai starts Dubai-Tel Aviv services after detente | Reuters
United Arab Emirates airline flydubai started direct passenger flights to Israel on Thursday after the two countries normalised ties in a Washington-brokered deal.
Israel and the UAE agreed in August to establish diplomatic relations, paving the way for economic cooperation. Bahrain and Sudan have also agreed to forge formal ties with Israel in deals brokered by the Trump administration and promoted as a strategic Middle East shift that isolates Iran.
Dubai state-owned flydubai will operate twice-daily fights between the UAE’s and Israel’s financial capitals - Dubai and Tel Aviv - the airline said this month.
Dubai’s Emirates, the UAE’s biggest airline, will sell tickets on the flydubai service through a codeshare agreement between the carriers, an Emirates spokeswoman said.
